“Thanksgiving Day comes, by statute, once a year; to the honest man it comes as frequently as the heart of gratitude will allow.”

~Edward Sandford Martin

“It has been an unchallengeable American doctrine that cranberry sauce, a pink goo with overtones of sugared tomatoes, is a delectable necessity of the Thanksgiving board and that turkey is uneatable without it.”

~Alistair Cooke

*** Linked together:

Hi, Ned. Unbelievable! It is absolutely amazing to me that, among the thousands of communicators who receive your newsletter — yes, the one you do on your own time, for no pay, as a huge service — there are people who are clueless about what it takes to produce this newsletter week in and week out, not to mention rude. My other thoughts for JB (Hi, Ned, Please note that the link you listed for job #43 is not very useful. It goes to a page that says, “This job is not available for viewing.” Please check before you post these things. Thanks! J.B.) aren't printable.

Note to JB: The responsibilities of a GOOD communications person include being resourceful, being smart enough to research things out on your own, being courteous, and being appreciative when someone provides you and the others in your community a major service. Thus, one would expect you, JB, to be able to figure this out!

Ned, please know that I — and huge numbers of folks in the communications community — appreciate you and all you do. Have a wonderful holiday season. I hope that many good things come your way in 2011! Best, Dee

*** Alternative selections:

I love the wide variety of alternative listings this week! Gives me lots of new ideas in case my current career-change strategy does not work out! (I'm in a training program to become a financial planner – hey, I've written about it often enough; I might as well try my hand at doing it.)

(We are providing a valuable service to the professionals in our profession who are trying to escape the profession.)

Of course Thanksgiving is all about football, and high school football rivalries are played out on Thanksgiving in many places in our country, not the least of them in New England, where Thanksgiving rivalries go back decades.
